5.00The tour was awesome. Such beautiful temples. Our guide and driver was absolutely great. Very HOT but it is what it is at this time of the year. Having AC on the van and water constantly being provided made things better.
Good trip

5.00This was an awesome day. Atti was our guide and James our driver, both brilliant. Professional and friendly. Its a gorgeous drive with very comfortable transportation. Atti answered any and all questions. Super knowledgeable and eager to share. The temples were SICK. Especially the white temple. Totally not what we were expecting.

5.00We enjoyed our tour visiting these temples. We ended up being the only ones on the tour since another family canceled for falling ill. Our guide was so gracious and accommodating and our driver was a champ driving a good 6 hours for the day. If you are looking to explore further out Chiang Mia I would recommend this tour!!

5.00We had an incredible time with Sam and his driver on this tour! The drive there and back was relaxing, with perfectly-timed stops to grab a coffee and stretch your legs. It goes without saying that the temples were stunning, and even better with Sam, who is a knowledgeable, informative, and generous guide. All entry fees and tickets are included and organised for you so you can enjoy your surroundings without worrying about logistics. This was without a doubt my favourite day of my Thailand trip - I cannot recommend it enough.
